Old School will likely require some servo extensions.</p> <p>Notes:</p> <p>Printed in eSun PLA+</p> <p>Arrange parts on the build plate according to the illustrations.</p> <p>Cura: Support Touching Build Plate, Infill 15%</p> <p>Trim away the 2 little locking tabs inside the slots of the XH base connector that is to be used in the Fuselage.</p> <p>FLIERS!!!</p> <p>If you find that this makes your flying sessions MORE enjoyable with LESS hassle, please consider buying me a cup of coffee at</p> <p>paypal.me/MakeItMakeItMakeIt</p> <p>Thank You!</p> <h3>Post-Printing</h3> <p><strong>Fuselage Wiring Preparation</strong></p> <p>Prepare your wiring as desired.</p> <p>These are 12" in length, maybe 2-3" longer than they have to be.</p> <p>Female servo connectors are crimped to wires, pressed over the XH connector posts, soldered and heat shrunk.</p> <p>Standard servo connectors are crimped onto the other ends: ready for Installation.</p> <p><strong>F-Mount Installation</strong></p> <h3>Test fit the F-Mount into the fuselage, ensuring it fits snugly, is centered side-to-side, and is flush to the edge of the fuselage.</h3> <h3>When you are satisfied with the test fit, apply CA across the entire curved face of the F-mount and glue it into place, making sure that the face is flush with the fuselage edge.</h3> <p>Ensure that the fuselage and F-mount are as snugly assembled as possible, especially in the 2 center areas of contact, illustrated by the arrows.</p> <p><strong>Fuselage Wiring Installation</strong></p> <p>Fit the wires through the opening in the F-Mount, separating them Left side/Right side, and insert the XH connector into the opening, with the slots facing UP.</p> <p>Ensure that the connector is flush to the face of the F-mount when installed.</p> <p>The XH connector should be firmly retained in its hole.</p> <p>If necessary, apply some CA to it before final insertion to keep it retained.</p> <p><strong>UP Fuselage Preparation</strong></p> <p>There needs to be a 1" hole in the bottom skin of UP#1, just before where it mates to UP #2, to allow the wiring to get to the aileron servos.</p> <p>It can be closer to the front if you desire: it's just a pass-through.</p> <p>It is easier if you have not yet assembled the UP pieces.</p> <p>If the UP pieces are already assembled, a hot knife, care and patience will do the trick.</p> <p><strong>Wing Wiring Installation</strong></p> <p>Prepare your wiring.</p> <p>These are 12" long, with standard servo connectors.</p> <p>The XP connector fits into the W-Plug Plate, followed by the W-Filler Plate (raised portion IN).</p> <p>The W-Filler Plate only fits one way.</p> <p>NO glue is used here.</p> <p>It's helpful to label one wire as L or R appropriately.</p> <p><strong>Install W-Mount Plate</strong></p> <p>Attach the Install Tool to the W-Mount Plate using 2 M3 x 8 screws.</p> <p>This makes it easy to test-fit and install the W-Mount Plate.</p> <p><strong>Test-fit/Install the W-Mount Plate</strong></p> <p>Holding the Install Tool, with the holes toward the bottom, maneuver/fit the W-Mount Plate to the inside edges of the vertical supports in UP#1.</p> <p>The sides should be flush against the supports and the bottom should be down onto the top of the UP#1/wing.</p> <p>When you are satisfied with the fit, remove the Mount Plate, apply some CA to both side notches, maneuver/fit the W-Mount Plate back into place, and apply activator.</p> <p>When dry, remove the Install Tool.</p> <p>You may run a bead of CA over the seams between the W-Mount Plate and the vertical supports if desired.</p> <p>OPTIONAL: There are 4 tabs called Up Tabs that I created and glued to UP1, Probably will end up being totally useless, but there they are, and you can have them too if you want them.</p> <p><strong>Wing Wiring Installation</strong></p> <p>Thread each wire end through the opening in the W-Mount Plate, then guide the wire through the hole in Up1,</p> <p>When both wires are through the hole, position the W-Plug Plate assembly and attach it to the W-Plug Plate with the 2 M3 screws.</p> <p>Position the W-Plug Plate almost to the bottom of the UP opening (&lt; 1mm), then tighten the screws just enough to allow the W-Plug Plate to move for initial fitment.</p> <p><strong>Final Steps</strong></p> <p>With a hooked piece of stiff wire, pull the 2 wires through the bottom opening in the wing and connect the 2 Aileron servos, then stuff the wiring back into the wing hole.</p> <p><strong>Wing Installation</strong></p> <p>Adjust the W-Plug Plate as needed (Up/Down) so that the connectors fall into each other when inserting the wing. Once you have found the correct orientation, you can tighten the screws.</p> Category: R/C Vehicles
